When Nothing Turns Itself Inside out and Becomes Something: Coating Poly(Lactic-<i>Co</i>-Glycolic Acid) Spheres with Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles vs. the Other Way Around

To stabilize drugs physisorbed on the surface of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles and prevent burst release, these nanoparticles are commonly coated with polymers. Bioactive HAp, however, becomes shielded from the surface of such core/shell entities, which partially defeats the purpose of using it...
